The somewhat unlikely scenario of DF Direct Weekly making its way to a 49th instalment has somehow come to pass! Tom, Alex, Will and Audi are all consigned to Rich's basement this week, meaning that it's just John and Rich to tackle the big news of the week - Cyberpunk 2077's 1.5 update with next-gen features landing, Dying Light 2 receiving VRR unlocked frame-rate support on Xbox Series X and - yes - there's reaction to the reaction of Horizon Forbidden West's release. 00:00:00 Introductions 00:00:55 Cyberpunk Patch 1.5 is out 00:17:07 Dying Light Xbox VRR Mode 00:20:07 DF Bonus Supporter Q: Hey guys, did you have any chance to look at the Dying light 2 VRR mode for Xbox? Seems like it now runs at 80-100 fps on average in performance mode, as far as I can tell through LGs built in VRR info screen. Do you think DRS with a locked 60 would have been better instead? 00:22:28 Nintendo announces the death of 3DS and WiiU storefronts 00:27:52 Chrono Cross Remaster filters can be disabled 00:30:14 Final Vendetta - Bitmap Bureau's new game 00:31:52 Elden Ring Recommended Specs are bizarre 00:37:11 DF Content Discussion: Horizon Forbidden West 00:41:31 DF Bonus Supporter Q: SkillUp's review for Horizon Forbidden West showed significantly more noticeable pop-in than Digital Foundry's. Any idea why that might be? 00:45:16 DF Bonus Supporter Q: Do you think there is enough headroom for a 40 fps mode? 00:46:20 DF Bonus Supporter Q: Do you think AMD FSR would be the better choice for the performance mode of horizon forbidden west? 00:49:12 DF Bonus Supporter Q: What do you think about the fact that all Decima games we've seen so far only lightly utilize TAA? 00:50:30 DF Bonus Supporter Q: What graphical elements of Horizon Forbidden West could benefit from an eventual PC port? 00:56:49 DF Supporter Q1/2: Would it be possible to make a kind of generation comparison video? 01:01:00 DF Supporter Q3: Is there a setting on LG C1 that is suitable for 30 fps games? 01:03:21 DF Supporter Q4: What are some great hdr implementations in games to really convince somebody that hdr is as amazing as some people say it is? 01:06:13 DF Supporter Q5: Who would you recommend to buy AMD GPUs assuming the cards are available at MSRP? Do you think AMD can catch up with Nvidia in RT/ML and does the coming XeSS help AMD? 01:12:42 DF Supporter Q6: Do you think we're going to start seeing larger and larger gaps between 30fps quality modes and 60fps performance modes? And do you expect some games to drop their performance modes all together? 01:15:08 DF Supporter Q7: What do you think is responsible for the lack of four- and even two-Player split-screen multiplayer on modern consoles? 01:19:27 DF Supporter Q8: How do you decide which platform to buy a game on?
